I really dont see her getting the VP invite, but could be wrong. Personally, I think that any ticket with Hillary on it will wake up the conversative bases in the country and that is something that the Democrats could do without, since they really cost them the last 2 elections. I look for Hillary to seek one of the following after cashing in on her defeat...
Seat on the Appropriations Committee - most powerful committee there is..bar none.
Special Committee or Subcommittee Chair for Health Care - would be a newly created position...basically custom made for her. Obama would probably support this one pretty well.
Secretary of Health and Human Services (she would lead, but would have to give up her senate seat, so I am not so sure about this one)
Secretary of State (I could see her pushing for this, but if they gave it to her...it is a total signal that the next primary season is not a walk in the park for Obama)
I would and did say earlier a committee chair, but from what I have read...even the cloudt that she has now it is not enough to bypass the seniority tradition of the senate. She would have to stand in line and wait her turn as others have before her.
Honestly, I think this was her one and only shot at president. The only way she runs again is if Obama loses this time. If she waits for 2 terms of Obama (should it happen), she would basically be too old to get elected. It is extremely rare that encumbents do not get the nomination for a try at a second term. I see her using the Ted Kennedy illness as a motivational tool to become a lifelong servant of the people in the Senate and work her way up to a committee chair

Bill Clinton couldn't be vice-president because he's ineligible for the presidency, isn't he? I was sure that if you'd served terms as President, you couldn't be the vice president because the v.p. would become President in case of the death of the Pres-dent, and you can't be President more than twice. Right?

"Secrets Revealed" seems to be the theme of politics this month. The latest appears to be Hillary's emails from top advisers.
| QUOTE |
| Hillary Rodham Clinton's top campaign strategist advised her to cast presidential rival Barack Obama as having questionable "roots to basic American values and culture" and use the theme to counter the image that his background is diverse and multicultural. ... Clinton did not take Penn's advice, revealed by a report in the September issue of The Atlantic magazine. ... Clinton grew angry during a conference call with her senior aides about how to recover from her loss in the Iowa caucuses. She found herself doing most of the post-mortem, to near-silence on the other end of the line. "This has been a very instructive call, talking to myself," Clinton snapped, and hung up, the magazine reported. Mostly, the disputes were over whether to go negative against Obama, a half-black, Harvard-trained lawyer with a gift for soaring rhetoric and big themes. Penn advised going negative. Obama's background - he grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii - was a "lack of American roots," Penn wrote. Also a weakness, he added, was the divisive rhetoric of Obama's controversial pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who cursed America during a sermon. "Won't a single tape of Wright going off on America with Obama sitting there be a game-ender?" Penn wrote in a March 30 memo. Penn's memos also contained prescient advice. The memo from March 2007 talked about the importance of a key voting bloc he called "the invisible Americans" - women and lower- and middle-class voters. |

Where do these little tidbits come from? Who leaks them? Is it on purpose? And what purpose does it serve, really, this far after the fact to reveal them?

Apparently, Hillary isn't done yet. She's to have her name read in as a nominee! What kind of back door politics is this?
From the L.A. Times:

| Hillary Clinton's name to be placed in nomination at convention In a bid to foster Democratic Party unity, delegates will have the option during the roll-call vote of choosing Clinton rather than Obama as the party's presidential nominee. By Peter Nicholas, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer August 15, 2008 WASHINGTON -- A Democratic National Convention that is supposed to showcase Barack Obama will devote a considerable amount of time to Hillary Rodham Clinton and her family, with the two campaigns announcing an agreement Thursday to formally enter her name into nomination. The development means that during the state-by-state vote on a nominee for president, delegates will have the option of choosing Clinton rather than Obama -- giving supporters a chance to cheer her candidacy one last time. Barring an unforeseen collapse on Obama's part, Clinton won't win; Obama wound up with 136 more delegates than needed to clinch the nomination, and there are no signs of any defections. But the purpose of the exercise is to resolve a nagging political problem for the Obama campaign and the Democratic Party. Since Obama locked down the nomination in June, some Clinton loyalists have been slow to embrace his candidacy. The two campaigns believe that by setting aside time to acknowledge Clinton, the party stands a better chance of avoiding a fractious scene on the convention floor and of emerging from the convention united. Aides to Clinton and Obama said the two sides had been working cooperatively and were both satisfied with the arrangement. |
"Cooperatively," my foot! Obama has been pressured into it. Do you really think he wants to give any floor time to the "Hill and Bill show" at his own nomination party?!? Ridiculous.

On the Road With Hillary Clinton
The senator from New York and former first lady nearly claimed the Democratic presidential nomination. Instead, it's Barack Obama who is going after his piece of history. For much of the general election campaign, she's been a quiet supporter. But last night, she reunited with her former rival in Florida, and with less than two weeks to Nov. 4, she will do what she can to help him win the White House. "Nightline" co-anchor Cynthia McFadden sits down with Clinton for her perspective on this historic election.
